Excellent place to stay lovely and peaceful with views over the country side yet near the A30 to go anywhere You want 10 out of 10 for our lovely hosts

We have just arrived home from a few days away at this beautiful self contained holiday home in the grounds of Chloe and her family's home. By the second day, I'd already emailed Chloe to book again for the end of the Summer! Beautiful and well equipped apartment, had absolutely everything we needed and was warm, cosy,comfortable and clean! Home from home! Really liked all the little touches like wine, bread and milk for our arrival, dressing gowns and the binoculars and bird books. I spent a peaceful hour every morning spotting lots of different bird species and learning about them from the sofa with a cup of tea! Chloe has been a brilliant host since we booked keeping in touch regularly by email. We tried quite a few of the recommendations from the Welcome Pack too including visits to Exeter and the Quayside, Topsham, Darts Farm and the Puffing Billy, would recommend them all. We're looking forward to returning in a few months to explore some more.

We stayed in The Hutch in August and enjoyed it so much that we booked again for early October. Chloe is very welcoming and helpful and provides everything needed for a clean and safe holiday in these difficult times. She even asked us what type of wine we wanted in the generous welcome package! The pictures on this website are accurate so the Hutch is as good as it looks, including the view. We had a meal at the The Lamb which is a few minutes walk away and thoroughly enjoyed that as well. This is an excellent place to stay if you want peace and quiet without banging hotel doors etc, but still close to the seaside towns and attractions of the Devon countryside.

We were fortunate enough to be the second guests staying at ‘The Burrow’, the newly completed 1-bedroom garden apartment perfectly located in the village of Longdown, between Exeter and the east of Dartmoor. This excellently finished contemporary accommodation is in addition to the 1-bedroom holiday cottage ‘The Hutch’ and is now part of this well-established family run holiday rental business. A warm welcome greets you by hosts Chloe, Alan & Trixie and you soon feel at home and settled in the comfortable surroundings with outstanding views over the countryside. Nothing is any trouble for the hosts, who are on hand for any questions or tips about the local areas and amenities etc. It’s the hidden touches which are a real bonus – so you’ll have to see them for yourself after booking up and arriving! We walked down to The Lamb Inn one evening (5 min walk) for a delightful meal which was all locally sourced. There are plenty of walks nearby and this superb location offers short journeys to the wonderful beaches around Exmouth, the towns along the River Exe, e.g. Topsham and Lympstone, Dartmoor National Park and of course the historic city of Exeter itself. If you want a relaxing break in exceptionally fitted present-day accommodation, then this is the perfect stay, as it was for us! Thank you Chloe, Alan & Trixie – looking forward to seeing you all again very soon!!

The location - Rural village in Longdown with views across the countryside from The Hutch. Very welcoming host Chloe lives in the adjacent property and happy to help with any queries we had and provided a list of recommended local eateries/pubs. We ate in The Lamb Inn which was within walking distance and served excellent locally produced food (booking essential). Exeter is a 10 minute drive away and other lovely locations such as Dawlish, Salcombe and Dartmouth are nearby. (Social distancing applied). We are looking forward to our next visit (already booked for next year) and hope to enjoy some National Trust properties and gardens which were closed during this visit due Covid. The property is decorated/furnished to a very high spec and was spotlessly clean with items removed such magazines and children's toys for infection control purposes. The welcome pack was more than ample (optional during Covid) containing a good bottle of red, local milk, biscuits, butter, cereal, jam and bread. Looking forward to next years 'chill out'

Having stayed at The Hutch last summer, we decided to re-visit after having such a lovely time 12 months ago. Once again, we were not disappointed. The attention to detail in the property is second to none and it truly does feel like a ‘home from home’. Chloe, Alan and their family (including dog Chester of course) are so welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and they are on hand if you ever have any questions or are after recommendations for things/places to see and do, but leave you to your own devices too - a perfect combination. Close to Exeter (around £12 in a taxi), the location is ideal. Great for a quiet getaway, but close to the hustle and bustle of city life if you crave it. We had another lovely weeks stay and as we told Chloe when we were leaving, we’re sure it won’t be the last time we visit!!

Our own little personal cottage, warm, cosy, quiet, beautifully presented and Chloe was a excellent host. Good size rooms, well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge and a super bed. It was nice to have a shower and bath for a soak after a day on Dartmoor. Longdown is close to Exeter, plenty to do there, try the Underground Passages. The South Devon beaches are close by, we really liked Teignmouth. Good pub a very short walk away and plenty more in the surrounding villages.
